Kyrion Media’s Editorial Guidelines

Version dated April 17, 2026

At Kyrion Media, we believe in distributing credible, newsworthy announcements that serve media professionals and the public with integrity. Our editorial team conducts rigorous review of all submissions to ensure compliance with journalism standards and legal requirements.

By submitting content to Kyrion Media, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with all standards in this policy. Submissions that fail to meet these requirements will be rejected. No refunds are issued for rejected content or for accepted releases that are not picked up by receiving media outlets.

SECTION 1: CORE SUBMISSION STANDARDS

1.1 What Constitutes Newsworthy Content

Press releases must announce genuine developments that matter to audiences. Legitimate news angles include:

Launch of new products, services, or significant business expansions
Corporate transactions, partnerships, or organizational changes
Awards, recognitions, or significant achievements
Expert insights, research findings, or industry commentary
Scheduled events, announcements, or leadership transitions
Regulatory approvals or significant business developments

Content designed primarily to sell or market without announcing genuine news will be rejected as promotional material. News informs; marketing persuades. We distinguish between the two rigorously.

1.2 Professional Tone & Language Requirements

All submissions must adhere to professional journalism standards:

Maintain formal, objective language throughout
Avoid sensationalized phrasing, exaggeration, or extreme claims
Do not use excessive capitalization, punctuation marks, or superlatives (“best,” “amazing,” “revolutionary”)
Never use direct address (“you,” “our customers,” “we invite”) except within attributed quotations
Present all opinions as formal quotations from authorized representatives—never as organizational fact
Avoid hyperbole and language designed to mislead or manipulate perception

Direct address and sensational language are advertising techniques. Journalism maintains professional distance and objectivity.

1.3 Accuracy & Verification Standards

You are responsible for ensuring complete accuracy:

All factual claims must be verifiable and based on credible information
Provide supporting documentation for data-driven statements
When citing legal actions, provide case numbers and court documentation
All quotations must be exact, verbatim, and authorized by the speaker
References to third parties (organizations, individuals, locations) require authorization or permission
Financial metrics, performance data, and statistics require substantiation

Inaccuracy damages your credibility and media relationships. We reject content that appears unverified or contains demonstrably false statements.

1.4 Structural & Technical Requirements

Required Components:

Headline: News-focused and concise. Capitalize first word and proper nouns only.
Summary: Maximum 250 characters, including organization name and key terms.
Dateline: City, state, and date (Example: “Denver, CO – April 15, 2026”)
Body: 300–800 words in clear paragraphs. First paragraph must identify the organization and announce the core news.
Company Background: Brief company description (2–3 sentences).
Contact Information: Full name, title, phone, and monitored email for an authorized representative.

Technical Standards:

No HTML tags, unusual characters, or forced line breaks
No ALL CAPS sections or excessive exclamation marks
Links limited to one per 100 words; all links must be fully functional at submission
Images accepted in .jpeg, .gif, or .png format
Email addresses will be reformatted by our team for security
Spelling and grammar must be flawless; errors undermine credibility

Define all acronyms and technical terms. Assume your audience includes people unfamiliar with your industry.

SECTION 2: LEGAL & AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Legal Matters & Documentation

Press releases referencing lawsuits, settlements, regulatory investigations, or criminal matters must include:

Specific case numbers and court jurisdiction information
Official court filings, settlement documents, or regulatory records
Descriptions limited to what court documents explicitly state—no speculation or interpretation
Acknowledgment that pending cases cannot be used to influence public opinion
Understanding that third-party law firms cannot file releases about cases unless representing one party

Releases announcing intentions to sue or threatening legal action will be rejected.

2.2 Authorization & Written Consent

The following submissions require explicit written authorization from authorized company executives:

Releases from or about network marketing, MLM, or direct-sales organizations
Announcements using stock ticker symbols
Major corporate announcements (mergers, acquisitions, major partnerships)
References to other organizations, individuals, or third-party websites

Independent representatives of network marketing companies must obtain written consent from company leadership. Authorization may be requested during review.

2.3 Financial Transparency & Digital Asset Declarations

Releases involving financial products, digital assets, or investment matters must include:

Complete, verifiable business registration details and address
Current, functional contact information
Clear disclosure of regulatory compliance status
Verification through appropriate business registries

Emerging financial sectors (cryptocurrencies, NFTs, blockchain, DeFi, game tokens) face heightened scrutiny. We may reject submissions lacking demonstrated legitimacy and regulatory compliance.

Full name and professional title
Direct, monitored phone number
